Williamson Thanksgiving 2012

A Redneck Thanksgiving in Oklahoma

Yes… that is a car lift
that Thanksgiving dinner was served on. I just love it! We have been
eating Thanksgiving dinner with Jerry & Teresa Williamson for 9
years. The last 6 or so have been served from this car lift in Jerry’s
Boat repair business. Behind me (as I was taking the photo) is a bunch
of tables and chairs where we eat. That wooden platform you see in the
lower left corner is the stage for the permanently installed stripper
pole. he he he

My Attitude is Infectious

Five days a week, I post positive quotes that can change the course of your day. They are quotes that make you feel good.

A lot of people enjoy sharing these tidbits with the people around them. I also post a little piece of myself through my art. I usually paint in a colorful, happy style.

"Alyson Stanfield's book I'd Rather Be in the Studio! The Artist's No-Excuse Guide to Self-Promotion is the most comprehensive self-promotion advice out there for artists. And not only is it packed with information, she also shows artists of all kinds how to implement each action step. I can also attest that the book is well designed, easy to follow, and a pleasure to look at (graphically). I just love the big red exclamation point that I see on the spine when it sits on my bookshelf!"
